I edit manuscripts for a university press. "Ed Absurdum" isn't my real name. This blog has no opinion on anything controversial (although it may have opinions on stuff nobody cares about). Let me restate that--this blog has no opinion on anything controversial (although it may have opinions on stuff nobody cares about).

about me and this blog

I EDIT MANUSCRIPTS for a university press. The mechanical stuff of my work--commas, dangling modifiers, etc.--is boring, so I won't write about it here. ~~~ I USED TO blog under a pseudonym (Ed Absurdum), but now I'm nonanonymous. I don't like anonymity. More importantly, I like the sound of "nonanonymous." ~~~ THIS BLOG HAS NO OPINION on anything controversial (although it may have opinions on stuff nobody cares about); it neither supports nor opposes any candidates. It sometimes points out the logical cheatings of candidates because similar sleights of hand appear in the books we edit. If you think the blog has unfairly singled out your candidate, feel free to send material from someone you don't like. ~~~ IF THIS BLOG POINTS OUT a gaffe in some work, this doesn't imply that the blog considers the entire work, let alone everything written by the author, to be incorrect, wrongheaded, or illogical (or that the blog disagrees with it, since it has no opinion). This should go without saying, but it didn't, since I just said it. ~~~ NOTHING IN THIS BLOG reflects the opinion (which it doesn't have) of my employer (which I haven't identified).
